Does all the code

does all the code

does all the graphics

does all the music

what's you're fucking excuse

I like playing vidya, not making them

I don't have a sugar mama of a wife that will pay rent and food while I no-life dev

Not everyone wants to make a boring farm game

I don't want to sell my soul to the devil

it’s like asking some infantrybros their excuse on why they failed scout sniper selection. some have skill. some don’t have skill

if i roll this 1 OP will work on his own game doing all the art, coding and music himself and he has 1(one) month deadline to finish it, no excuses!

>what's you're fucking excuse

He had a gf that worked to the bone to support him I don't have that

you got lucky, OP

I am lazy and untalented

Watching interviews of him, he's clearly talented, driven and disciplined, dude was absolutely going to make it sooner or later

I didn't have rich parents

But his graphics and music suck.
Can't speak for the code as I'm not a programmer but it probably sucks too.

How strong a laptop do you think I'd need to make something like Stardew Valley?

I don't have a sugarmommy paying all my expenses for a few years.

>does all the graphics

I wish he would have gotten some help with the portraits and writing.

I wasn't blessed with the magic ticket called talent.

Preoccupied, unmotivated, and frankly not interested. Making my own game could be cool, but I'd rather focus on my talents and what interests me.

Not very, something mid-range from the last ten years could probably suffice if you can stomach to wait. Then again there's a big difference between "can" and "should", the less time you have to spend waiting the more productive you can be. The screen might also be an issue.

does all the graphics

He should have had somebody to tell him to quit second guessing himself.

5 and 6 are the best

I'm so exhausted from shoveling legacy shitcode and trying to survive 2+ hour meetings at work that I barely have enough energy to work on my own (non-game) project.
Wagecuckery is death of the soul.

working a job you hate kills you but so does being a neet with no purpose

I made a few games from scratch but I always thought they were dog shit.
I can do art, music and programming - but I suck at level design and making interesting mechanics or new/unique spins on existing mechanics.
On top of that, there is so much slop to compete with that it just doesn't feel worth it - and its only going to get worse as AI slop increases in production.

neet with no purpose

If your finances are in order, NEETing is the dream.

I hate to break it to you anon but it's called hard work. Don't worry, I'm also lazy.

Uh, none? I'm composing for my new video game right now, though.

2+ hour meetings

pain

I'm working on making music and maybe character design
I'm strictly a no-coder

The character portraits are fucking ugly.

does he actually have these things or are you just making excuses?

Yes, he is a nepobaby
